This automatic factory produces raw resources for others to process. It relies on the VIBR stockpile to generate exotic matter which is collapsed into the required materials. Space stations get water and uranium, and the planet receives gold and silicon.

    Fixed an issue (introduced in a version prior) where the sorting station pusher would get stuck pushing.

    The basic idea is to move a line of FRME to the direction of movement, in any way possible. You can use the classic 2-piston setup where 1 pushes FRME and 2 pulls 1 back, or like in the system I invented - create a part that would move FRME that would get erased afterwards, described here: id:2926507

    I've seen them on many saves,but I can't quite find a way to reverse engineer them.

    How did you make the PSTN moving machine?

    I think you broke it again, though.

    There weren't any significant updates to this save, but if you look at the history you can notice a dozen of tiny tweaks. For example, a neutron at the wrong place could turn all the WATR into DSTW, which stopped the whole cycle - and was prevented by adding an additional detector.
